Chapter 833 A Better Way to Break the Game
Huangfu Huai angrily accused Qi Xuesong of forgetting the original intention of the Valley of Divine Doctors and violating the oath they had made to heaven and earth when they first became his disciples.
Qi Xuesong retorted that he had never forgotten his original intention, but that this world could not tolerate so-called goodness.
It is obvious that the Valley of Divine Doctors is engaged in curing diseases and saving lives, but it has to rely on mechanical devices to hide in the deep mountains and forests, and has lived a life in darkness for generation after generation.
Even when traveling outside to treat patients and save lives, he dared not reveal his identity for fear of bringing about fatal disaster.
Could it be that just because he possesses extraordinary medical skills and the ability to cure diseases, it becomes their fault?
Faced with his aggressive questioning, Huangfu Huai simply said, "Junior brother, since we can't agree on anything, we'll go our separate ways from now on."
Qi Xuesong sneered and said, "You will regret it sooner or later," then packed up and left the Valley of Divine Doctors.
Before he left, Song Yanxi secretly ran to see him off, and asked him with red eyes why he refused to stay and live with them.
It is obvious that these two brothers were so close in the past and were almost inseparable.
Before he became obsessed with poison, his senior brother Huangfu Huai always responded to his requests.
Later disciples who joined the sect later always thought that they were brothers from the same mother.
Qi Xuesong didn't explain anything about this, but just gently rubbed Song Yanxi's head and said, "Girl, you are the smartest disciple in our Divine Doctor Valley, and the responsibility of making your name known to the world is now entrusted to you.
Your master has a bad temper, please take good care of him for me."
Song Yanxi asked him: "What about you?"
Qi Xuesong smiled and said, "Listen to your master and go out and become a notorious villain who kills people without a care."
Song Yanxi, who was still young at the time, was frightened by his words. With a pale face, she pulled his sleeve and asked him if he could not go. She didn't want him to become a bad person.
At the end of the conversation, I couldn't help but drop my little pearls.
Qi Xuesong helped her wipe her tears and laughed wantonly, "Girl, let your master rest assured. I will definitely not use the name of the Divine Doctor Valley to do evil in the future.
Tell him for me that even if I die out there, you can just pretend you didn't know me."
After saying this, Qi Xuesong turned around with a laugh and left decisively.
Song Yanxi wanted to chase after him, but accidentally fell and hit her head.
She lay on the ground, watching Qi Xuesong's back getting farther and farther away, crying loudly.
The master was attracted by her crying, and stood under the tree, holding her hand and cursing at the broken mountain road where no one could be seen for half an hour.
On the way back to apply medicine, the old man told her that there would no longer be a person named Qi Xuesong in the world.
Even if we meet again on the street, we will just be strangers.
In half a month, it will be the wedding date of Zhuang Shihan and Lin Tingfeng. Based on Song Yanxi's understanding of Qi Xuesong, he will definitely return to Beijing to attend his apprentice's wedding banquet.
By then, she would ask him in person whether he knew that his apprentice was using the name of the Valley of Divine Doctors to do evil things in the name of saving lives.
If possible, Song Yanxi would rather Qi Xuesong was deceived by Zhuang Shihan and had no idea about the good things she did outside.
Even if the old man didn't say it, she knew that he was actually thinking about this junior brother whom he raised since childhood.
Even though they have different ideas, the feelings they have had for the past few decades are not fake.
Song Yanxi sighed softly and murmured, "I don't know where my uncle has been living all these years, and how he's doing."
Hearing this, Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened. He pointed at the few herbs he had picked up and asked, "Xi'er, do we need to grind these herbs into powder?"
Song Yanxi came back to her senses and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "These medicines are very potent. Even a small amount of powder after being crushed could potentially kill someone. Your Highness, please don't touch them."
Mo Jinchuan frowned slightly, "Isn't it dangerous if you touch it?"
Although she knew he was concerned, Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl her lips, "Your Highness, have you forgotten what I do?"
If you want to learn medicine well, the first thing you need to learn is not how to identify medicinal materials, but to follow your master and help him.
In particular, Huangfu Huai liked to find new ways to treat illnesses. Often, he would just give Song Yanxi a prescription, and before she could find all the herbs for it, he would give her another one.
In the first few years after she went up the mountain, she was often busy and dizzy. Several times, she fell into the medicine grinder because she was sleepy.
Huangfu Huai, the master, looked at her and was not worried at all. He even laughed at her mercilessly.
Because of this incident, most of the letters Song Yanxi wrote home during that period were complaints.
Unfortunately, she was still young at that time and could not read completely, so all the letters she wrote were written by Huangfu Huai.
He also enjoyed it. He would write down the way his little apprentice scolded him. Sometimes, when he was in the mood, he would even help to polish it.
Whenever Yan Yichuan wrote back to scold him, he would be very happy and secretly take her to the back mountain to cook for her.
Thinking of Huangfu Huai's temperament, Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She took a few pieces of herbs and put them into the medicine grinder. While grinding the herbs, she said, "If the master were here, there might be a better way to break the deadlock."
Now, they can only use the most stupid, or most traditional, method, which is to mix the ground medicinal powder in different proportions.
Until the sweet fragrance they smelled was blended.
But there is one point that Song Yanxi has not figured out yet.
These highly toxic drugs can kill people instantly, and even just smelling them can make people feel unwell. In mild cases, they may feel dizzy, or in severe cases, they may bleed from the mouth and nose and faint.
But Chang Jiu had just gotten close to Li Zhuang's mouth and nose and sniffed for so long in order to distinguish it, and he didn't feel any discomfort.
Song Yanxi had never heard of such a strange thing before.
The old man is knowledgeable and may understand the mystery.
Mo Jinchuan moved a chair and sat down, saying casually, "Xi'er, when Divine Doctor Huangfu arrives in Beijing, you can let him stay at Prince Jin's Mansion first."
Song Yanxi paused, "Why?"
She remembered that she had told him before that the master was always picky about where he stayed and would rather spend the night in the wasteland if he was not satisfied.
The two of them were close friends regardless of age and exchanged letters frequently. He should be aware of the old man's stubborn temper.
If you make him unhappy, he won't even look at you even if you invite him to the palace, let alone the Prince Jin's Mansion.
Mo Jinchuan lowered his eyes, naturally avoiding her probing gaze, and said in a light tone: "I haven't seen Divine Doctor Huangfu for a long time, and I miss you very much."
Song Yanxi: "Tell the truth."
Before Mo Jinchuan could speak, she reminded him, "If I were the prince, I wouldn't choose to lie at this time."
She thought he should know her temper.
Mo Jinchuan laughed and explained helplessly, "Xi'er, you misunderstood. I'm just worried that if Divine Doctor Huangfu moves into the Princess's Mansion, people seeking medical treatment will disturb his peace."
Most older people don’t like noise, and Huangfu Huai is no exception.
If it weren't for their wedding, he would rather stay in the Divine Doctor Valley and take care of the herbs in the back mountain.
"That's true." Thinking of her master's temperament, Song Yanxi felt that there was nothing wrong with Mo Jinchuan's arrangement.
After all, compared to the Princess's Mansion where guests often come, the Prince Jin's Mansion has fewer people and less things to do, and it is no exaggeration to say that the security is ironclad.
When the master lives there, he won't be disturbed easily and can live more peacefully.
But Song Yanxi thought about it again, a trace of worry in her eyes, "Ziheng is a bit shy, wouldn't it be inappropriate for the master to live there directly?"
